Reo not firing

[MDV39]

One of my reo grands has stopped firing. It wouldnt fire so I gave it a bath and it did fire once out of the 100 times I tried after and now I cant get it to fire. any ideas?

For openers, did you inspect the battery positive contact? Is it mashed out of shape now?

Did you file the contact? Apply any Noalox?

Is your battery fitting in tight or did it drop some?

If you turn your battery while pushing down on the button will it fire?

Sounds like a cleaning, filing, and Noalox problem to me.

It's possible that you have bent the firing pin due to button mashing.

the firing pin doesn't look bent I filed and noaloxed the pin

Check the screws they can work loose, what does it ohm out to? Is the center pin just lower than the 510 threads?

Great suggestion! I was checking my RM2 coils and re-wicking last Sunday and found a coil that read 2.3ohms. I knew that I had a coil about 1.2 ohms on that Grand. Checked the screws and one was a little loose. Sure enough it showed the 1.2 after being tightened.

They can get loose when you remove a wick. It might pull the wire a little and turn the screw.
